Opening  Ceremonies  at  the  Grave,  10  a.  m. 


Of  course,  the  general  public  is  cordially  invited  to  be 
present ;  but  the  persons  whose  names  are  set  opposite  the 
following  groups  or  classes  are  put  in  charge  of  organizing 
their  respective,  units,  wholly  independent  of  all  other  units, 
in  such  manner  and  form  as  may  occur  best  to  them,  to 
attend  the  unveiling  ceremonies  at  Governor  Roane's  grave. 
They  are  requested  to  take  a  part  on  this  patriotic 
occasion  at  least  to  the  extent  of  urging  persons,  who  come 
within  the  groups  or  classes  they  respectively  represent, 
to  get  together  on  the  morning  of  Wednesday,  June  26th, 
next,  at  some  indicated  point  in  Knoxville  and  go  down,  by 
automobile  or  otherwise,  in  a  group  to  Pleasant  Forest 
Grave  Yard,  with  some  degree  of  order  and  proper 
patriotic  decorations,  in  time  to  arrive  there  by  10  o'clock 
a.m. 

By  each  person  named  contributing  a  little  time  and 
effort  the  occasion  can,  in  the  language  of  Governor  Rye, 
be  turned  to  good  public  account  at  this  particular  time  in 
American  history.  Each  unit  is  perfectly  free  and  inde- 
pendent  of  all  other  units,  and  may  meet  at  its  own  time 
and  place  in  Knoxville  and  move  in  a  body  when  ready.  The 
run  by  automobile  is  thirty  minutes  or  less  from  Knoxville. 
Where  two  or  more  persons  are  named  for  a  group, 
they  are  urged  to  meet  and  plan  assistance  to  the.  program, 
the  first  person  named  being  the  Chairman.

Historic  Campbell  Station 


This  settlement  is  fifteen  miles  west  of  Knoxville,  at  a 
point  less  than  two  miles  north  from  the  Southern  Railway 
?it  Concord,  and  on  the  splendid  Kingston  Pike ;  and  is,  per- 
haps, in  the  richest  and  most  beautiful  valley  of  up-to-date 
farms  and  farmers  in  the  State,  so  noted  for  generations. 

Here  is  located  one  of  the  best  educational  institu- 
tions in  the  South — Farragut  High  School. 

The  "Station"  took  its  name  from  a  family  long  prom- 
inent in  the  history  of  the  State,  and  it  was  into  this  fam- 
ily that  Governor  Roane  married. 

Andrew  Jackson  was  often  sheltered  by  the  old  "Inn" 
with  its  belfry,  then  on  the  stage  road  in  sight  of  the 
Roane  grave;  and  Admiral  Farragut  in  his  boyhood  days 
lived  and  fished  nearby. 

Pleasant  Forest  is  the  community  burial  and  church 
ground,  and  has  been  such  back  beyond  the  memory  of 
the  oldest  citizen,  where  all,  both  living  and  dead,  com- 
mingle without  regard  to  religion  or  creed.  It  was  in  full 
view  of  this  sacred  community  plot  that  Governor  Roane 
lived  and  died  on  his  estate — Grassy  Valley.  It  is  in  this 
old-time  cemetery  that  his  remains  have  been  ninety-nine 
years  in  an  unmarked  grave,  and  where  Tennessee,  has  finally 
honored  his  service  and  memory  with  a  fitting  and  last- 
ing granite  marker  of  imposing  design  and  dimension, 
typical  in  its  simplicity  and  durability  of  the  plainness 
and  strength  of  the  soldier,  jurist  and  Governor 
beneath  it.
